Show's back but in a weird way not that I'm surprised. LOL, what's with the face makeup and that weird hair style. Wow.

Series should returned in a weird way. The soccer match was okay I guess. Wtf @ the power levels though. The ending was kinda cute I guess.

Damn Botan kicked the soccer ball like it was nothing, but said it was a pass XD. Well I enjoyed this episode especially on the second half.

Sakura claiming that the power of friendship and stuff makes you win, but really it's a case of "having Botan on your team makes you win".

I wonder if their fifth was the seal... Or perhaps it was Furuhashi?

They had 6 seats at the restaurant after all.

Got to feel sorry for Suzaku's misplaced devotion, too.

Botan's kick was just unexpected and so was the soccer match.

I actually got confused and slightly spooked by that fifth relay runner business. Then those credits kicked in.

Episode was alright.

Oh wow this comment alone makes the last scene of this episode even more dramatic.

I was surprised when the attendant said 6 seats and there was only 5 people on screen too. Are they really making Furuhashi invisible? LOL

Hopefully now we can enjoy this each week without anymore delays. I really missed the hilarity of this show last week T_T

It was pretty obvious from the start that they wouldn't lose Karen no matter what xD Even if they managed to somehow lose

lol at Botan's number 1 fan supposedly being a mortal enemy.

This show really does not know how to disappoint~

Did the face paint at the beginning remind anyone else of Kanako from Nyan Koi?

Either way, I loved the soccer "match". It was more of a chance for them to show how unnecessarily strong Botan is. XD

Then there's that one line "recover the sniper". I died.

According to the official Kitakubu website, Episode #11 will be next Thursday, as
expected.

There were lots of heartwarming moments in this episode. Too bad that Botan
didn't have better fashion sense when she was in junior high school.

It would have been wonderful to see Karin become the team manager for the
boys' soccer team. Too bad that they forfeited.

Then of course there's this:

http://i41.tinypic.com/2i1pcg5.png

The fire prevention supervisor always has something to do with something that happens at some point during the episode, but (unless I forgot something) Oohagi neither appears nor is mentioned at any point.

So perhaps that is the mystery 6th member?

Botan is Oohagi, right? Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying? I never paid attention to this sign, it changes?


Oh god... you're right. I never bothered learning any of the characters' full names lol. And yes, the sign is different every time.

The extra member has dark stockings, apparently. Ai Furuhashi, Natsuki's friend, wore white the only time we saw her. There's this waitress with black stockings in the background right after we see the seat is empty next to Natsuki and in front of Sakura, although she wasn't wearing a waitress outfit when sitting down.

I happened to come across this article on the history of "Cute Girls Doing Cute
Things" (CGDCT) anime series: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=390439

I'll try to define CGDCT as follows:

(1) The main characters are girls.
(2) The girls are cute. (as opposed to realistic)
(3) The primary basis of interest is that the girls simply do cute things.
(4) The events are is NOT based on some major purposeful activity, such as being
magical girls, superheroes, fighters, becoming pop idols, starting a new girl band
or a being in a tournament.
(5) The events are not driven by some over-arching dramatic story.
(6) The anime is based on real life, in the present, normally in Japan.
(7) The anime does not rely on non-realistic features such as magic or time
travel or mechas.

I am not claiming that my definition of CGDCT is the right one or the best one.
Feel free to introduce your own.

Don't confuse the term CGDCT with the term "moe". They have different
meanings. However, the characters in CGDCT anime are very often "moe".
But I should mention that I often see "moe" defined as "cute girls doing cute
things". I disagree with this because (1) a moe anime could have lots of
male characters (2) the girls might be moe yet not be doing cute things.

Based on this, CGDCT started in 2001 with Kokoro Library. Since then, there
have been lots of great CGDCT series. However, I believe that the trend has
pretty much run its course, and people are sick of CGDCT and want to move
on to other things. So there is very little demand for CGDCT so that anything
that is made now has to be produced on the cheap. For these reasons, I think
that Kitakubu will be the last great CGDCT anime series. For the hard core
CGDCT fans among you, you are always free to re-watch Azumanga Daioh.

Here are some highlights of CGDCT over the years:

2001 Kokoro Library / ココロ図書館 / Kokoro Toshokan
2002 Azumanga Daioh
2004 Lucky Star
2004 Maria Sama Ga Miteru
2005 Strawberry Marshmallow / 苺ましまろ / Ichigo Mashimaro
2005 Best Student Council / 極上生徒会 / Gokujō Seitokai
2006 High School Girls / Girl's High / 女子高生
2009 Kanamemo
2009 Sasameki Koto / ささめきこと / Whispered words
2011 A-Channel
2011 Nichijou / 日常 / Nichijō
2011 Yuru Yuri / ゆるゆり
2012 Joshiraku
2013 Yuyushiki
2013 Kitakubu

Some of you may enjoy Non Non Biyori which starts on October 7th. I have
looked at the manga. I don't want to give away spoilers of criticize it. But I
will say that I believe that Kitakubu seems to me to be the final chapter of the
great tradition of CGDCT which has spanned a dozen years.

I would definitely not include Maria-sama ga Miteiru in that list...
It's no sliice of life and/or a story without a dramatic overarching story. Personally I think it's disqualified immediately since it's a shoujo/shoujo-ai.

On topic, they should start a service that lend out the seiyuus for this series, their voices can cut through most known materials. :)

As some of you already mentioned before, the 6th member appeared several times, 3 times in record 33.5 (around 10:59, 11:12 and 11:18), in restaurant (around 10:10) and finally in sport festival, as the one who received the stick from Natsuki (19:50 and 19:52).

Undim said:

http://s21.postimg.org/g4s90rq3r/final.png


in that final scene, the girl who was standing behind the seal has small feet (as shown in 22:25), so i guess she's younger than all kitakubu girls. Remember the dead girl who appeared in 5:51 - 6:07? Both were wearing similar dress.. Same person? :D there were probably more than 1 mysterious girl in this episode after all.. haha

anyway, it was a great episode, King Piccolo joke was funny, though Sakura's face appeared as Kenshiro (Fist of The north Star) was quite disturbing lol.

p.s

I found really good fan arts of Natsuki in pixiv.

To clarify things, the next episode will be broadcasted on Thursday, October 3rd.
That is announced at the very top left of the official webpage here:

In addition, their official Twitter does not show anything unusual:

In their tweet yesterday, they mentioned that you can see the jacket design for
Volume 2 of the Blu-ray here. You just need to scroll halfway down the page.
